Product Identity

The Spears 1829-020 is a 2-inch PVC ball valve designed for inline plumbing installations. Its true union body style allows the valve body to be removed from the piping system without disturbing the connected pipe ends. This product suits plumbers and maintenance teams needing reliable flow isolation in residential or light commercial drainage applications.

Installation Notes

The valve features dual Socket/FNPT connections on both ends, providing flexibility for solvent-weld or threaded assembly. The Safe-T-Shear stem design limits damage if the handle is over-torqued during operation. Installers should verify pipe alignment before final tightening to prevent stress on the EPDM body seals and ensure the PTFE seats seal correctly at the rated 235 psi.

Suitability

This valve fits systems handling water or compatible fluids between 73 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit at pressures up to 235 psi. The locking tee handle prevents accidental actuation, making it suitable for safety-critical lines. It is not intended for high-temperature steam service, aggressive chemical lines requiring specialised elastomers, or pipe sizes other than the stated 2-inch dimension.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 235 psi rating holds after installation?

Pressurise the line to the rated 235 psi at 73 degrees F and watch for leaks at the socket and FNPT joints; the Safe-T-Shear stem and EPDM body seal are designed to maintain seal integrity at that pressure.

What comes in the box and what must I supply?

The valve body, PTFE seats, locking tee handle and Safe-T-Shear stem are included; you must provide PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement and thread sealant for the socket and FNPT connections.

Should I choose the 2 inch full-port version or a reduced-port alternative?

The 2 inch full-port design matches the pipe inner diameter for unrestricted flow, so select it when you need maximum capacity through the 235 psi rated line.
